Patient Information –
Since medical marijuana is new to Missouri, there are several steps that you need to complete before you are eligible to legally acquire your medicinal marijuana from a licensed dispensary. It may take some time to get your medical condition approved for treatment using cannabis, so the earlier you start the process, the sooner you can get the medical marijuana help you deserve.
Missouri General Requirements:
• Must be 18 years or older and a legal resident of Missouri.
• If you require a Primary Caregiver, that person must be at least 21 years of age and must be designated on your application for a Medical Marijuana Identification Card.
• Must be evaluated in-person by a state-licensed physician (not a nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant).
• Must be diagnosed with one or more of the Qualifying Conditions and obtain a physician certification. – Click here to see a list of qualifying medical conditions.
